ParticipantFor the ones claiming abortion to be a deciding factor, I am curious if that is the only thing keeping you from looking at Ron Paul? First my bias is that I am not a country-club pubbie, or a social conservative pubbie, but lean more to the libertarian “live and let live” type of conservative.
I agree with your position and do not agree with the standard GOP party line on abortion. However I have not cared enough about that one issue to make me vote Democrat. Thus in my mind if I otherwise agree with very little coming out of that party, it seems I can overlook that one issue. This is clearly a wedge issue that seems to drive a voter one way or the other.

ParticipantFor whatever reason I am a bit late to 401K party. Years of military, then combined with too much job-hopping. One thing I am not clear on is vesting. I am close to three years with one company, and initially invested, but stopped it to pay some bills. In assessing my income, it would see to me I should at least put in enough to get the matching because the tax savings, and the amount they kick in is still better than paying some interest on a credit card or student loan. I get 50% on the first 6, and we have a host of Vanguard funds and some other funds to choose from. I’d say even just 3% right now is probably a net win vs. paying debt.
When you are said to be 100% vested, is that for the life of each subsequent investment (meaning the employer match). That is let’s say I am fully vested after year 4, does that mean each matching dollar from there on is fully vested, or does each dollar invested have to wait it’s own 4 years to vest. I am assuming it’s the former.

ParticipantWow a budding romance.
I spent 3 weeks in Tokyo on a business trip, and went for Shabu-Shabu on two separate occasions. In general I don’t enjoy going to the Beni-hana style steak houses because I am not a big onion or squash guy, and that’s how they whip it all up. However the Shabu-shabu (swish-swish) I really liked. I might have glossed over the last page of the thread but is that served in San Diego?
Sushi, I view as side dish or appetizer that I could care less if I eat or not. My wife lately just gets the stuff at Henry’s here in Encinitas. Generally if she orders it, I’ll have one or two.
